NOTE: By joining #scorehero you have acknowledged that you have read the channel's RULES, found here.

In addition to the forums, we've now got our own official chat room.

The channel #scorehero has now been registered on irc.gamesurge.net.

For those unfamiliar with IRC, here's how you can join, using mIRC:

1. Download and install mIRC from www.mirc.com
2. Create an account on www.gamesurge.net (optional)
3. Verify your email and take note of your password (optional)
4. Run mIRC and type the following commands:

You can stick stuff in your "perform" menu too so you don't have to do this everytime you run mIRC. I'll just post some of my options menu that should be good enough to guide you to where you don't have to type stuff out everytime:

You can use a fake name and email address, but both are required (and email address must have correct syntax)

This will connect you automatically when mIRC starts. Change your port if you know you need to do so. GameSurge has listed on their site specific servers and the port numbers you can use with them. Most people don't need to bother with it, though.

Putting in your auth password instead of the garbage I've used to hide mine will auth you automatically when you start mIRC. Then it will automatically join #scorehero (and some other channels in my case). Finally, setting yourself to +ix will hide your hostmask (if you've successfully authenticated) and keep you out of various userlists (spam deterrent)._________________

Trillian is a Windows only app that is primarily a multi-homed IM client (ICQ/AIM/YM/MSN/etc). It has IRC support, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a full featured IRC client (especially on a PC, where mIRC is a choice). Anyway, no Trillian on OSX, so... moot.
